I would like a video of what's wrong with the iPhone
The burning
And indents
I wouldn't buy a pixel phone just because of this kinda of software block, is like slapping the face of the consumer.
Got to be honest, the call screening feature was one of my favourite things about the 7 pro.
We get so many spam callers in the UK, when you opt to "screen my call" and you see that the number hangs up within a couple seconds, you instantly know it's a spam caller.
On the odd occasion where it has been a delivery driver or a doctor etc, they've always waited until the end of the message and given a proper reply, which I have then answered.
It's a great feature and I'm surprised to see the scepticism about it in this vid.
google is bad haha ,The iPhone 15 Pro Max, Apple's highly anticipated flagship smartphone, has garnered significant attention, but unfortunately, it has faced a barrage of criticism due to a multitude of issues. One of the major concerns is the device's propensity to overheat, especially during prolonged usage, leading to discomfort for users and potentially impacting the phone's overall performance and longevity.
Adding to its woes, the iPhone 15 Pro Max features a glass back that is notably fragile, prone to cracking with even minor drops. This vulnerability raises serious questions about the phone's durability and the practicality of using it without a protective case, which many users find inconvenient.
Furthermore, the display, a critical component of any smartphone, suffers from burn-in problems, where static images or icons can leave a lasting impression on the screen. For a phone in this price range, such a flaw is highly disappointing and raises concerns about the quality control standards employed by Apple.
Functionality-wise, the iPhone 15 Pro Max falls short in several areas. The absence of multitasking capabilities and pen support limits its potential, particularly for users who rely on these features for productivity and creative tasks. Additionally, the lack of fast wired and wireless charging options, a feature that has become standard in many high-end smartphones, means users have to endure longer charging times, which can be inconvenient for those with busy lifestyles.
The device's design also raises eyebrows, primarily due to the large notch at the top of the screen. While competitors are striving for bezel-less designs and innovative solutions to house front-facing sensors, Apple's decision to retain the prominent notch feels outdated and affects the phone's overall aesthetic appeal.
Moreover, it's concerning to note that certain reviewers, especially those with a strong bias towards Apple, have refrained from addressing these issues. This selective approach, where some aspects of the phone are overlooked or downplayed, can create a misleading impression for consumers relying on these reviews to make informed purchasing decisions.
In addition to these concerns, the iPhone 15 Pro Max suffers from other drawbacks. Reports have surfaced about the phone's subpar battery life, a significant drawback for users who rely on their smartphones throughout the day. Additionally, the titanium material used in the phone's construction is reported to change colors over time, which raises questions about the quality and longevity of the device's materials.
Another controversial move by Apple was the decision to exclude a charger from the box, despite the phone's premium price tag. This cost-cutting measure received widespread criticism, as consumers were left to purchase a charger separately, adding an extra expense to an already expensive device.
Photography enthusiasts have also expressed disappointment in the iPhone 15 Pro Max's camera performance, specifically in terms of exposure. Users have reported issues with the camera software, resulting in poorly exposed photos, which is a significant letdown given Apple's reputation for delivering high-quality camera capabilities.
Furthermore, software bugs have been identified in popular messaging apps like Viber, causing inconvenience and frustration for users relying on these platforms for communication.
In conclusion, the iPhone 15 Pro Max, while carrying the Apple brand and the promise of cutting-edge technology, falls short in several crucial aspects. From overheating and fragile design to display issues, lack of essential features, and software problems, the phone faces substantial challenges. Coupled with the reluctance of certain reviewers to address these problems, consumers are urged to approach the iPhone 15 Pro Max with caution, considering these drawbacks alongside its positive aspects before making a purchase decision
I love you saying G2 wasn't good with battery-life but when Pixel 7 got out you guys almost put it in an altar saying it was a must-buy-phone over others. I understand that Pixel phones are a different experience, but it's not that far from other Android phones and in some ways it loses with Motorola phones for example (taking Samsung off the equation). I love your videos and listening to your opinions guys, but I think that when it comes to Pixel you were a little biased last year. Hope it changes this year.
After the battery life i had on the 6 pro i would struggle to trust them again. The battery on that phone was a joke
I've had a bunch of people stay on and talk while I used the Google call screening.
In my country it Cost 1200 dollars.
Xiaomi 13t pro can reach 2,600 peak of brightness
OMG – Dust sticking to your smartphone is sooo anoying – first world problems, haha
Good thing is free watch
I wish call screening was available outside the US.
I am not buying simply over the price. I was planning to upgrade, too… I've been waiting since the 6 came out.
No phone is worth over 1000$ none!
What do you think about the fact that they give you a free watch or ear pods when you buy it from Google store?
Pixel is also stubborn…just give a stable sd 8+gen 1 or 7+gen1 … Even that would have been much better but no… The have to olay with fire(literally a butning processor)
The temperature measuring device now provided by Pixel 8 Pro in my opinion is a rediculous new phone iteration! Is it there simply to up the price! Is there any dialogue whatsoever between Google and Google Customers!!! I am a Google customer. I enjoy use of my Pixel 6 Pro but now I think I need to watch more carefully my money than Google products……

They both were so offended by mkbhd saying the pixels have the brightest displays π … That was personal πππ
Am I the only one who really hates the outros in their videos. It seems really cringe for a channel of this much following.
Love the contents, its just the outros that gets me.
